Sandy & Ed, your dad was a guy who did so much for us growing up. How he ever had the patience is behind me. Taking us fishing (Odgensburg), teaching us how to handle a gun, and going to all our CYO games, the memories are proiceless. In September he made the 2 hour drive to Savona camp. I don't know how many clams he brought down, but we did manage to eat em all up. He took our money playing poker, he even went 4 wheeling. But when he took out his shotgun and shot a slug right in the middle of that bullseye, at 85 years young! Zig, you the man!
Happy hunting Zig & thanks for the memories.
